I'm not a Lurker, but I am new. Let me know what I did to be called a Lurkee?

Welcome to the forum from Tasmania, Australia. All members get a label/badge upon joining and it changes with time and the number of posts you make, newbies are called Lurkers. As for the meerschaum question, no idea but I know the pipe you're thinking of, maybe someone else has some insight for you.

Hi Buck! I’m pretty sure that pipe is an actual antique. Maybe it was borrowed from a collector, I dunno.

Welcome from Richmond Virginia
We’ll Lurker is Kinda Like Hang Around, Prospect and eventually Full Patched or Friend of Ours, Friend of Theirs and Goodfella.
No thoughts on the pipe but I’m pulling it up on DVR to get an Idea.

Hiya, Buck.
Until proven otherwise, the admins here rightfully assume that new members are here for lewd and nefarious purposes. As you spend more time here, and post things that aren’t primarily pornographic or treasonous, you’ll be upgraded to “Mostly Harmless”, then “Allowed To Use Scissors”. Eventually, if you are very lucky, you might be elevated to “Can Be Trusted With Gerbils”. Only one forum member has ever reached that pinnacle, but sadly the honor was rescinded when it was discovered that he couldn’t.

Pretty unlikely to find the maker, as many, many carvers produce same. Unless you can get ahold of the property manager of the movie!

I think it is. I'm not a Jones, but I know of hundreds.

Welcome! I love that movie but it's been a while since I've seen it and didn't remember him smoking a pipe. I looked up photos online but none clearly showed the pipe. Do you have a screenshot of a scene where the pipe is more visible?

It looks like it has a small button at the bottom of the bowl.

Simply a handle everyone gets until he reaches a level of posts. See VDL's reply upthread.

Everyone gets a title based on how many posts you have. Here's the list:

User Title Ladder - Part II :: PipesMagazine.com

Here is another update with two changes. 1. The word "Addicted" is not the best choice here, so it has been changed to "Obsessed". 2. The "Lifer" title has been bumped up to 1,000 posts required, as 500 was felt to be too little for a 13 year old forum. New title ladder is shown below...
